I have hit a wall.
It is a big, gigantic...dare I admit gargantuan wall.
On Saturday I take the CQA exam. What is that you ask? It is a nationally recognized self induced torture my friends. It is the stupidity of trying to add depth to my knowledge in hopes of someday increasing my value in the work force. No one asked me to take this incredibly subjective, completely asinine, and unbelievably expensive test. I did this to myself. For some reason studying for hours upon hours, taking practice test after practice test, getting up at 6 am on a Saturday, and taking 5 hours to answer 150 questions that in no way relate to the information I have been studying sounded fun!
The wall is big my friends! I can study no more. I cannot answer anymore questions. I have been unable to achieve higher than a 75% on the practice tests and that is with an open book. The questions, when they aren't completely subjective, are reliant entirely on my ability to decode the authors semantics. They are, IN NO WAY, based on the content of the reading.
Certified Quality Auditor my left posterior article! I will be a certified linguistic code breaker! That is...IF I PASS! If not then I will be certifiable but that is about it.
I want to scream and hit things, but my kids are asleep.
